Science & "Tuttle
Twins" Economics
"Tuttle Twins" Economics
In this economics class, students will be taught economic principles through the fun and engaging Tuttle Twins series. This book series take difficult concepts and, through stories and analogy, makes them simple enough for a child to understand. The books are appealing, sometimes silly, and very engaging. In class, the teacher will prepare interactive lessons and simulations to help students understand the principles taught in the books. Some of the principles include free market economics, entrepreneurship, inflation, personal responsibility, the dangers of socialism and much more!
The class will also include:
• regular P.E. games (2x/month)
• leadership and outdoor skills
• service projects once/month (including making toys to send to Africa and doing family history work!)
